New Year. New You. New fashions!  Here are a few items that I have added to my “want list” and why.

#1  Outerwear Lust:  Black Leather Vest A black leather jacket is a closet staple.  I love my black leather jacket but sometimes I feel like it’s too much for the Los Angeles sunny weather and it hides my shirt underneath.  A black leather vest is perfect for layering and I like pairing it with a bright color to have your outfit pop.  This isn’t a biker vest or a super tight vest from the ’80s, think deconstructed, lose, almost like a cuddly sweater wrap but in leather that gives your outfit a ‘lil edge.

#2 Sunglass Lust: Baraque Frames Baraque side frames are fun, super feminine, and a throw back to the 1950s with a modern edge ; a great pair of frames to add to your sunglass collection.

#3 Fabric Lust:  Mesh We spotted mesh fabric everywhere at Milan’s Spring 2012 fashion week.  We also saw actress Jennifer Lawrence in a beautiful blue dress with mesh detailing at the 2012 People Choice Awards (look here).  I’m particularly fond of mesh work out clothes as it’s something different and gives your fitness look that extra touch.

#4 Color Lust: Red Red is the color of the season.  I am drawn to red because it is a power color; it’s classic, glamorous and sexy and you wear red when you want to be noticed.  Incorporate red into your wardrobe in an unexpected way, like with a red blazer or red pants, and stand out from the crowd!

#5 Shoe Lust:  Bling Take your black shoes up a notch with bling; think jewelry for your feet.  Add some extra fun in your step during those long work days with bling!

Here’s a dress to dance the night away in: Besoni from Barney’s Co-op in Santa Monica Place ($625).

Make this the year you break away from the safety of that little black dress, and try on something song’s are written about.  Stand out in the crowd with an alluring ruffled red dress, but be sure to keep your look current.  When considering your heels, belt and handbag, pair this firey hue with camel, purple, teal or even leopard print—just stay away from basic black.  Here’s a dress to dance the night away in:  Besoni  from Barney’s Co-op in Santa Monica Place ($625).
